Faculty: Consider bringing your classes (we know it's late to plan for that)—or encourage your students to support their classmates by attending when they can. (Consider requiring your students to attend and complete an assignment in which they reflect on what they learned.) 

Staff: Support IC students by attending their presentations and poster sessions! Bring a colleague! 

Students: Support your classmates and friends by attending their presentations and poster sessions! 

We look forward to seeing you there!
